I'm in a great mood. Gonna have a bunch of people over for Mania, and we're not gonna overanalyze and nitpick everything. Just gonna enjoy it and not get all tense over little things.

cwoy2j Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 I love Wrestlemania Day. I mentioned in another thread that I'm about to become a father. Once my kid is born, I'm going to make Wrestlemania Day a thing for us. Get him a wrestling themed gift and all that. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Kronos Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 Part of the issue I find is when there's self-imposed pressure to come to DVDVR or PWO or wherever and post match/show reviews. If you're writing a review in your head (or even taking notes), then it's hard to just relax and enjoy the show. And also, if it's something you're enjoying, you feel like you still need to come up with something to criticize so you don't come across like a mark. That's my experience, anyway. It's something I have to constantly fight, and I frequently lose. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess that's one of the major drawbacks of social media, message boards included. By the way, PWO jumped the shark when they started talking about sociopolitical issues as they pertain to wrestling. What a bunch of pretentious nonsense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobra Commander Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 15 hours ago, Cobra Commander said: Just discovered that a KC-based indy airing on a local station I get. So, the first match I see involves one guy doing a Wine Connoisseur gimmick in a heel vs heel match. The absence of his manservant is conspicuous, it seems. edit 2: Wine Connoisseur Guy (Plonk) is bleeding around the 11:20 mark of the match. His opponent unleashed a back rake after the blood started. Fun! BTW, Plonk lost after his opponent spit Plonk's wine into his face and Doctor Bombed him. I'm guessing the science holds up there. Plonk seemed more like the good guy because in the echelon of things, he's not as evil. Also, indy guys doing variants of Roll the Dice/Last Rites is a common thing these days? Or doing a version of that involving somebody starting in the ropes which is a move I should know the name to but actually don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dislike Pantera and have always had a soft spot for Kilgore as they're from around here (RI) and are super nice dudes with a couple great records. Used to go see them quite often. Jay, their singer, still plays out in a variety of projects. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coletti Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 Also, didn't beating up Steve Williams give Bart Gunn a career in Japan? I certainly wouldn't call that a bad thing, considering how limited he would've been here in the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victator Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 3 hours ago, Reed said: But at least Takayama can actually wrestle. Holly is really good, so don't know what you are on about. Quote Kurt, a man who has tested himself in the highest competition possible (the Olympics), decides to pick on some rookies. One is a half-assed, second-rate UFC fighter and says: "Well, I'll fight you." Kurt gets embarrassed. Because he got petty, cruel and decided to be a bully. So you don't know any of the story here. This was the idea of the office, Kurt was injured at the time and did not want to do it. He did not go to the ring during a live taping and decide to "bully" the game show contestants. And it was officially called an amateur wrestling challenge and Puder pinned himself. Which Puder managed to live off of for a few years. So the lesson is you don't research anything.

Probably. Although, Kilgore is pretty good in their own right. While on the subject of songs used in ECW, Prong was/is criminally underrated. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
